Wow Ico used is 29.99 at Gamestop and the used PS2 itself is only forty bucks more. That's way too much cash for a used game no matter how good it is.
Soon enough video games will be in most RedBoxes across the country. So I think I'll be playing alot more video games because I work at a Grocery store with a Redbox right inside. Rent a game and hopefully beat it in like a day or two: 2 bucks a day so like 4 bucks plus tax.
About movie games borrowing styles:
I always think about what Back to the Future producer Bob Gale used to say about it. Gale said if something is a success it is considered an homage if it's a failure it's a ripoff.
Think of how awesome the Simpsons: Hit and Run game was. Taking the GTA style was a great move for a mostly open world Springfield game. On the other hand the Simpson's game based on Crazy Taxi and wrestling sucked hard.
If they could make a good Star Trek video game I don't really care if they would have to use a Mass Effect style. If it wasn't for shows like Star Trek games like Mass Effect wouldn't even have been made in the first place.
